OF SPEAKER CARLISLE, DETAINED IN KENTUCKY
By WILL CASE-MR. RANDALL As DISTURBING
ELEMENT.
Speaker Carlisle was expected in Washington
before this time and good many members OF the
House have come here with the idea OF meeting
him. The will case he is now trying which has
been postponed from time to time, has kept him
In Kentucky. He Is expected now on the first of
July, or few days later. His coming will be the
notice for the arrival OF leading members on the
democratic side of the House. who will meet him
In conference here upon the revenue question.
They hope to make a general sounding OF the
party at this conference or series OF conferences
to be held so as to come to some sort OF conclu-
sion as to what they viii be able to DO in the way
OF reducing the revenue. They will be met at the
very entrance upon the subject with the fact that
Mr.. Randall still occupies his old position, and
that he has not been idle the while. He has
OF Congress whose sections are dissatisfied with
the 1nternal-revenue system. 1t is thought that
when the conferences with Mr.. Carlisle are held
that there will be propositions coming from un-
expected quarters, having in view the repeal OF
the tobacco tax, and a sort OF combination In
ternal revenue and tariff reduction. There will
be talk also of degrading Mr. Randall by deprvtng
him Of the appropriations committee, and alto
gether there will be number OF differences to be
preliminary to party caucus to be held about
the time OF the meeting OF Congress, when the
disposition OF the majority will be tested.
The question OF who wilD be the chairman OF the
ways and means committee is an all-important
one. Upon 1t depends much the prospects Of an
second on the old committee and an extreme
tariff reformer, expects TO succeed Mr.. Morrison.
He and Mr. Carlisle are close friends, and each ad-
Mr.. Mills for this position will be S. c. Cox, and
his appointment will be urged by many on ac-
count OF his not being such astlckler for the radi
cal principles of free trade, and that he Is more
apt to act with diplomacy.

Contested Election Cases.

NO NOTICE OF CONTEST SERVED IN THE NEW HAMP-
SHIRE CASE, AND NO TESTIMONY FILED IN THE
CONTEST AGAINST MIR. CARLISLE.
Gen. Clark, clerk OF the House Of Repre- senta-
tives, to-day, sent by mail Official notification to
Messrs. Sullivan and FELTON,, contestant and con-
testee for the seat from the nth California dis
trict, that he would open the testimony In this
case on the 10th Of July. Under the law the
clerk is required to notify the parties as to when
he will open the testimony. Reptesentative-elect
Mckinney, OF the Manchester district, in New
Hampshire. in Gen. Clark's office several days ago.
made the statement that he had never been
served with any notice OF contest by Mr.. Haynes
his defeated competitor. Mr.. Mckinney said that
nothing In the shape of a notice OF contest had
ever been served upon him, and as the time pre-
scribed by law for the sending OF such notice had
expired long ago he concluded that the idea of
contest had been abandoned. In the contest
against Mr.. Carlisle no testimony has yet been
sent to the clerk Of the House. The House COM
mittee on elections, when IL shall be appointed,
will have power to take up the case, but as none
OF the preliminarieS required by law have been
complied with, 1t is construed in some quarters to
mean that the contest has been abandoned.
